Maruti Suzuki To Introduce Swift CNG Variant In India: Mind-Blowing Fuel Efficiency Figure Expected
Maruti Suzuki recently launched the fourth generation Swift hatchback in India. Now, a piece of news has emerged that the company is planning to introduce a CNG variant of the car soon.
This upcoming CNG version of the all-new 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift hatchback is expected to offer an impressive fuel efficiency of 32km/kg of CNG. That being said, let's delve into the details of this much-anticipated car.
Engine: The CNG variant is likely to use the same 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder Dualjet series naturally aspirated petrol engine found in the current Swift. However, the power and torque figures are expected to be lower on CNG.
It is also anticipated that only manual transmission will be available for the CNG variant of the 2024 Swift hatchback, unlike the petrol version which offers both manual and AMT gearbox choices.
Mileage: The current petrol Swift delivers a mileage of 24.80km/l for the manual variant and 25.75km/l for the AMT variant. The CNG version is anticipated to offer a remarkable mileage of 32km/kg, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the market.
Price: The CNG variant is expected to be priced around Rs. 90,000 higher than the corresponding petrol variant. However, this price difference is expected to reach the breakeven point very soon.
Competition: The Swift CNG will directly compete with the Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG variants in the market. The Tata Tiago CNG currently holds the position of the only hatchback offering a CNG option.
Launch Timeline: Maruti Suzuki is yet to announce an official launch date for the upcoming 2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift CNG. However, the model is expected to hit showrooms by the upcoming festive season.
